Professor STATE COLLEGE, PA.', FRIDAY, MAY 22, 193 G Hillel Foundation Will Assist Nazi Refuges To Study Group Plans To Bring Jewish Student To Campus. Various Groups Pledge Over $4OO to , Student Through the efforts, of the Foundation here plans are now un derway to bring a' German, refugee Jewish student to the Fenn , State campus next fall in order -to study here for , a Year. Over $4OO has al ready 'been pledged by various stu dent groups and Rabbi EphraiM FischOff, who is leading the move ment, expects to contact other inde pendent groups before the close of College in an effort to enlist their aid and support. ' Following `a meeting, of the W. S. G. A.thig week, Gene. C. Zeigler '37, president, .renorted this body was ready to pledge $100; that Cwens, sophomore honorary' society, would pledge 'another $100; and that a Tied tion for free tuition fm• the German atudent.would be sent to the admini stration. Although no plans have been made as- to whether a man or wonian stu dent will' be brought here, Miss Zeig ler said that the W. S. G. A. felt that a girl, living in a dormitory, would be able to make more contacts with Students than would a man living in a fraternity. • Approximately, $2OO has been .rais ed by the four Jewish fraternities here. and contributions from individu al Students; faculty, and townspeople bring the entire total, to nearly $5OO. Joseph P. Swift 'so; retiring . presi dent of Interfraternity . Council; pre sented the plan, to that body 'Tuesday ' night and an official endorsement of, it was passed.. . "It is to be hoped that many stu dents, activated by a deep loyalty, to the fundamental American tradition of ; demoeraeY, libersilith,:iind= civil liberties, 'Will:, - denionstrate this feel ing- by .supporting this humanitarian, venture," . Di. Fischoff said. "We will w I welcome any contribution , - however,,l small, - that any individual -or group may wish , to make in order to show! their sympathy with the movement.' "We are not so much interested in the .money which a group pledges ,as We are 'in the . spirit which' it mani fests in -backing such a movement," Dr. Fischoff said.. "By. this action Penn State will joiti'the colleges who have. thus demonstrated their oppo sition to the policies of Nazi Ger many." ' ' Enough money must•be raised, in order to bring the student here, to convince U. S. immigration officials that he will not become a dependent. A bureau in New York City which directs the work of assisting German Jewish students to study in universi ties throughout the world will notify the German government and arrange to bring the student here.
